    If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 𒁹𒌋𒌋𒌋𒌋 times, the babylonians got it right

      Base 12 ftw.

        It’s base 60 actually. With up to 5 𒌋 meaning 10 followed by up to 9 𒁹 meaning one. I actually should have put a space between the 60s place and the 1s place and formatted it as: 𒁹 𒌋𒌋𒌋𒌋

        It’s a lot easier to read in clay because you bunch the characters up within their place, and if it were used in modern day it would likely be autocorrected to make it easier

        Base-12 is absolutely gorgeous for geometry. A metric system on base-12? <chef’s kiss>

  This is the way. Embrace binary numbers. Reject everything that is nonbinary.
